THE HIDDEN EGG.
A Noted Mind-Reader's Most Interesting
 Out-Door Experiment..

4 Noted Mind-Reader's Most Interesting
 Out-Door Experiment..
 One of the most interesting of out door experiments l ever performed took place in Berlin twelve months ago last Easter. Having purchased an Easter egg and put into it a quantity of gold, the egg was given to Mir. Kasson, the American Minister, to hide anywhere within a radius of kilometer of the Hotel de Rome, which was the starting point. Accompanied by Count Moltke, his Excellency, Dr. Lucius, and Prince Ratibon, as a committee of inspection, MT. Kasson took away the egg and hid it, while I remained with the balance of the committee in the hotel. Instead of taking MT. Kasson by the hand, as l had done in other cases, 1 caused him to be connected with me by a piece of thin wire. One end of the wire was twisted round my right wrist and the other end round his left; the coli itself remained slack. Thus connected we started on our errand of search. From time to time the wire was drawn taut and it cut into our wrists with the force eX- ercised in pulling my subject along; but, as far as possible, I avoided actual ly touching his hand with my own. After leaving the Unter den Linden we turned into narrow street and then into the Emperor Wilhelm's stables. l went up to corn box and found it locked. For moment I took MT. Kas- sons hand in mine in order to increase the impression. This done, moved toward Prince Ratibon, and putting my hand in his pocket fetched out the key of the box, which at once opened, and inside, among the corn, discov- cred the hidden egg. The egg and it's contents were afterward presented to the Crown Princess of Germany as an Easter gift for the Kindergarten, in which her Imperial Highness takes so deep an interest.-Stuart c. Cunaber- land, in Nineteenth Century.

Hart-cne of our very commonest sign board devices-represents the favorite badge of King Richard H., although the white hart has also legendary eX- istence. The Rose and Crown-anoth- CT extremely abundant sign-owes its existence to the fact that most of the earlier English sovereigns used a rose crowned as badge. The Blue Boar, the badge of the once power ful De Veres, Earls of Oxford, is to this where lay the family seat, than any where else. The Red Lion, another of our very commonest signs, is probably in the same way derived from the per sonal badge of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, though it doubtless repre- sents also the lion in the arms of Scot land. As a rule, fantastically colored animals will be found to have had an heraldic origin. Creatures in their natural colors either may or may not have been derived from heraldry; thus, the Greyhound, though it has figured both as the badge, and one or both of the supporters" of the arms of several English sovereigns, may owe its ire quent appearance on the sign-board to its modern use in the coursing-ield. In the case of the White Horse, too, very common sign, it is difficult now to de- eide whether it represents the White Horse of the Saxons, or that of the House of Hanover, or one of the many white horses to be seen in our streets ChdOlber'S JO7IrndI

GOOD IN ALL.

A Story of the Plain Nightingale, with His
 Beautiful Voice, and the Gorgeous Pea
 cock, with His Horrid Croak.
 On a broad green lawn, before a white marble terrace covered with flowers, a magnificent peacock was en- toying the sunshine one summer morn ing. His breast was of the lovehest bright purple, and his tail was all full of green and golden eyes. He fancied that nobody in the whole world was of such consequence as himself. Presently a nightingale in search of his break fast flew down to seek worms on the lawn. He had been singing all the night long to his mate, who was sitting on their nest close by. And he felt very hungry indeed. So he rugged busily at the worms just peeping above ground.
 "What a mean-looking, Addressed creature you arer' said the peacock haughtily, and regarding the nightin- gale with great contempt, '1 wonder you dare show yourself on this splendid lawn; and in my presence, too!-get away at oncer'
 "When I have finished my break fast,'' said the nightingale. "I shan't be long. My wife is sitting wonder in the hawthorne thicket, on four of the loveliest brown eggs you ever saw in your life. must make haste back to her, poor thing, or know she will feel very lonely"
 Don't talk to me about your stupid brown eggs,' retorted the peacock with supreme disdain; you are quite be- meath my notice; get away! won't be seen talking to you"
 And he spread his gorgeous tail out like fan, and showed himself off with a great many airs.
 Providence does not give all it's good gifts to one," replied the nightin- gale. You are splendid to look at; but your voice is as bad as donkey's, and sets peoples teeth on edge. am sober looking enough, but my voice makes amends for that. Hush! I don't often sing by day; but istenr'
 And he trilled forth such a shower of sweet, clear, thrilling notes that made the woods echo again. The peacock was astonished, and gaped stupidly at the speaker.
 "There" said the nightingale; T don't want to show of, but wanted to prove to you that all the good qualities in the world do not belong to one per son alone. Take my word for it, there is some good in everybody, if we only look for it in the right place. And away he flew, leaving the peace ok good deal ashamed of himself.-AstLey II.

A GIANT HAWK.
How He Rescued Suffering Bird from
 Death.

How He Rescued a Suffering Bird from
 Death.
 A party of summer visitors at FL beron, N J., were one day very much surprised at the sagacity of a flock of fsh-hawks One of these birds, being mistaken for barnyard robber, was shot at while perching on the top branch of tree. The ball struck the bird on his wing, and he dropped, futtering and screeching, from bough to bough, until he contrived to clutch at a strong forked branch and rested there. All day long he sat, uttering piercing screams, and the next morning was found to have gathered round him large circle of hawks, probably his friends and relatives, who seemed Co be holding a council. Each in turn chattered busily, as if giv- ing advice or proposed plans of re- lief, while their wounded brother seemed to listen eagerly, and now and then put in word. The approach of human beings produced great con sternation among the birds, but they did not fly away and desert the dis abled one. The sportsman came again into the orchard, with the intention of

FARM DETAILS.
Why Every Agriculturist Should Keep
 Strict Business Account.

Why Every AgricuIturiSt Should Keep a
 Strict Business Account.
 There are farmers who investigate the details of their business so little that they can not tell what branches of it bring profit and what are carried on at loss. They know, in a general way, whether they are as well off at the end of the year as they were at the be- ginning, but they can not tell just where the loss or gain was made. If a strict account IS kept in detail, it can be easily told whether particular crop cost more than its value in mar ket, and thus the farmer be enabled to decide intelligently what crops his farm is best adapted for. Lack of busi- ness methods cause many farmer to go on from year to year making little or no headway, and claiming that farming does not pay. Nor is this lack of systematic business meth ods confined to those who devote their farms to grain-raising? How many stock-raisers are there who can tell WndU IL costs lHtIH lO TdlSe d HOTSe UT steer and prepare him for market? How many dairymen are there who can tell just what the returns from each COW of the herd are, so they can tell which cows should be disposed of and which retained.
 Now is a good time for change in this respect. More system and atten- tion to the details are necessary in these times of lower prices and closer competition with the producers in other countries. Those who understand their business the most thoroughly and give it the closest attention. will secure the best results. National LiUe- Stock Journal.

TETON MONTEM."
A Profitable Institution of the old En-
 glish School.

A Profitable Institution of the old En-
 glish School.
 Any old Eton boy would tell you that you might as we'll never have been born as not to know about Montem. Why, Montem was as old as Queen Eliza beth's time, and Queen Victoria was very sorry to have to consent to have it broken up. The senior colleger was captain of Montem, and he sometimes made s1.O00 out of it.
 On the morning of Montern day. the captain gave great breakfast in the hall to the fifth and sixth forms Then the boys marched twice around the school yard, the ensign waved the great flag, the corporals drew their swords, and the procession started through the Playing Feilds to Salt Hill, in long line, Accompanied by two or three regimental bands The officers wore red tail coats, white trousers, cooked hats with feathers and regimental boots; and the lower boys wore blue coats with brass buttons, white waistcoats and trousers, silk stockings and pumps, and carried slen- der white poles. But before this, long before sunrise, the salt-bearers and their twelve assistants had gone, soma on foot and some in gigs, to their places on the great roads leading to Eton, to beg "salt'' from every body they met Salt meant money; and every body had to give them salt. George III. and Queen Charlotte al- ways gave fifty guineas apiece. The money went to the captain at Montem, to help him pay his expenses at the university to which he was to go after leaving Eton. The salt-bearers carried satin money bags and painted slaves, and as re- ceipts for the salt that they secured they gave little printed tickets with the date of the year, and Latin motto.
 Every body went to Montem- King George always used to go, and Queen Victoria went. There was always a '.Montem poet" who dressed in patch work, and wore a crown; and he drove about the crowd in a donkey-cart, re- citing his ode and fourishing copies of it for sale.
 When the procession came to the top of Salt Hill, the ensign waved his flag a second time, and that ended the cele- bration; only the boys and the visitors all went to the inns at Windsor for big dinner.-Edwin D. Mead, IR St. NichOIns
